The take a slightly uneven step towards the edge of the cliff. The wire is heavy and their strength isn’t what it used to be, but they know they can make this flight. It’s far, but they’d gone further and with less sophisticated equipment.
Feldspar takes a deep breath and pauses to adjust the weight of the cable on their shoulder. Lapis is counting on this. Kent is counting on this.
With a casual little whistle they jump off the edge of the cliff and press on the fuel, shooting back up and then falling forward only to crank up the fuel again and repeat the process. The cable yanks and pauses their momentum, but they’re able to do a controlled fall while they unfurl it and then shoot back up. They make the rest of the trip across the river without any incident, passing the wire to Reibeck who quickly unfurls the wire across the length of the middle canyon and hangs it on Gabbro’s arm.
Gabbro sets off and Feldspar exhales. They helped train Gabbro themselves, and then there’s Gossan - they’ve got this. They can do this.
